Isbn: 9780674009639 - plato's rhapsody and homer's music: the poetics of the panathenaic festival in classical athens (hellenic studies) (24 Ergebnisse)

Softcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Underlining in pencil to a few pages.; The festival of the Panathenaia, held in Athens every summer to celebrate the birthday of the city's goddess, Athena, was the setting for performances of the Homeric Iliad and Odyssey by professional reciters or "rhapsodes." The works of Plato are our main surviving source of information about these performances. Through his references, a crucial phase in the history of the Homeric tradition can be reconstructed. Through Plato's eyes, the "staging" of Homer in classical Athens can once again become a virtual reality. This book examines the overall testimony of Plato as an expert about the cultural legacy of these Homeric performances. Plato's fine ear for language--in this case the technical language of high-class artisans like rhapsodes--picks up on a variety of authentic expressions that echo the talk of rhapsodes as they once practiced their art. Highlighted among the works of Plato are the Ion, the Timaeus, and the Critias. Some experts who study the Timaeus have suggested that Plato must have intended this masterpiece, described by his characters as a humnos, to be a tribute to Athena. The metaphor of weaving, implicit in humnos and explicit in the peplos or robe that was offered to the goddess at the Panathenaia, applies also to Homeric poetry: it too was pictured as a humnos, destined for eternal re-weaving on the festive occasion of Athena's eternally self-renewing birthday.; Hellenic Studies 1; 136 pages.…

Original brochure. Zustand: Gut. 124 p. A perfect copy. - The festival of the Panathenaia, held in midsummer every year at Athens to celebrate the birthday of the city's goddess, Athena (the Great Panathenaia was held every four years), was the setting for performances of the Homeric Iliad and Odyssey by professional reciters or "rhapsodes" in the days of Plato, much as the festival of the City Dionysia, held in early spring every year, was the primary setting for performances of tragedy and comedy. The works of Plato are our main surviving source of information about these performances of Homeric poetry at the Panathenaia. Through his references, both direct and indirect, a crucial phase in the history of the Homeric tradition can be reconstructed. Through Platos eyes, the "staging" of Homer in classical Athens can once again become a virtual reality. This book examines the overall testimony of Plato as an expert-albeit a hostile one-about the cultural legacy of Homeric performances at the Panathenaia. Platos fine-tuned ear for language-not just any language but in this case the technical language of high-class artisans like rhapsodes-picks up on a variety of authentic expressions and turns of phrase that echo the talk of rhapsodes as they once upon a time practiced their art-and even as they once upon a time spoke about this art. - Contents: Homer and Plato at the Panathenaia -- Epic as Music: Rhapsodic Models of Homer in Platos Timaeus and Critias -- Humnos in Homer and Plato: Weaving the Robe of the Goddess -- Appendix: Rhapsodes and Actors.
